In two days, students will once again be traversing the hallways of the various schools in the county. Some will be returning to their old stomping grounds; others will be transitioning to a new school.

But all students — and parents — need to know a few things before they walk through the doors or hop on the bus Friday morning.

Beware of ‘Tax Processing Unit’ scam

The Habersham County Sheriff’s Office has been made aware of a new scam that has arisen over the past week.

A letter from the “Tax Processing Unit, Internal Processing Service, Habersham County Public Judgement Records” is making the rounds with a final demand for payment of taxes to the “Federal Tax Authorities”.

The letter sent through the U.S. Postal Service gives an 800- number and a deadline to call that is roughly two weeks from the date of the letter.
Even the “Habersham County Commissioner” received one of the scam letters.

If you receive a letter like this, do not engage with the sender or any telephone number or email address provided.

Instead, if you believe you owe money to the federal government, reach out to the IRS directly as contact information on official government materials and websites.

The Northeast Georgian

The Northeast Georgian is one of Habersham County's oldest and most respected business establishments. The Georgian began publishing in 1892 and in 1990 merged with Tri-County Advertiser.

The newspaper is dedicated to serving the people of Habersham County. It is the only publication both in print and online that is solely dedicated to chronicling the lives of Habersham County and its residents.

With a total circulation exceeding 10,000, the newspaper publishes two print editions each week. One issue is published on Wednesdays, and the second is delivered on Fridays.

In addition, the newspaper publishes this online edition which is updated on the same days that its printed product is delivered. When news events dictate, this Web site is updated with breaking news before it is published in the newspaper.
